China is the world's largest tobacco producing and consuming country, with cigarette production and sales volume and cigarette growth rate ranking first in the world. Due to the high profits of tobacco products, some criminals are driven by huge profits to produce and sell counterfeit cigarettes, causing huge losses to the country, businesses and consumers. According to statistics, the losses caused by counterfeiting, forgery and smuggling in China's tobacco industry each year amount to several billion yuan. To this end, many cigarette manufacturing companies have invested a lot of money in packaging materials, plate making, printing, processing and other links to take some anti-counterfeiting measures, and achieved certain results.
The current anti-counterfeiting technologies commonly used in the field of cigarette packet printing are:
1. Design anti-counterfeiting before printing
2. Printing process security
3. Printing supplies anti-counterfeiting
4. Post-press processing anti-counterfeiting
5. Other anti-counterfeiting technologies
1. Anti-counterfeit design before printing
Anti-counterfeiting design is mainly carried out by using software and design system of famous brands such as Barco, Mengtai and Founder.
Pre-press design anti-counterfeiting technology includes: rainbow shading, embossed shading, anti-copy shading, gradient shading, lace, flower ball button, frame, miniature text, "mask" unlocking technology, rainbow color printing, front and back For India, etc.
Second, the printing process security
Combination of multiple printing methods: offset printing, flexo printing, screen printing, gravure printing, digital printing and other printing processes are simultaneously used on a cigarette label, and the anti-counterfeiting effect is much higher than that of cigarette labels using a single printing method.
Using special printing technology:
(1) Three-dimensional printing: The integrated three-dimensional imaging technology of the grating and the printing process are integrated, and the flat printed image can present the peculiar visual experience of three-dimensional vision and heteromorphism.
(2) Miniature printing: print very fine text on a solid or dashed line that looks like ordinary printing, or it can be a
On a certain part of a printed dot or shading pattern, microscopic text, codes or images can be read out with a magnifying glass or microscope. Counterfeiters are difficult to reproduce accurately.
(3) Engraved gravure printing: making gravure printing plate by engraving method. The plate-making process is complicated, the printing is very difficult, and it is difficult to copy and forge. Example: Jinsha Suyan of Xuzhou Cigarette Factory. Engraved gravure printing light-variable ink anti-counterfeiting measures are adopted on the sealing label. The main content is a light-gold / red color-changing pattern surrounded by flower decoration. While highlighting the gravure anti-counterfeiting, the sealing label and packaging design are also in harmony.
(4) Others: rainbow printing, pattern matching, butt printing, wiring printing, multi-color overlay printing, special gloss printing, hidden images and image interference anti-counterfeiting printing, etc.
